    摘要: A medical apparatus includes a probe including a handle having a longitudinal axis, a distal tip disposed on the longitudinal axis, and a position sensor, which is disposed in the handle on the longitudinal axis at a predefined distance from the distal tip and is configured to output a signal indicative of a location of the probe. An alignment jig includes a connector configured to be fixed removably to the distal tip of the probe and three protrusions, which extend from the connector and are configured to contact a surface of a body of a patient at respective points, which are disposed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis when the connector is fixed to the distal tip of the probe.
